Another one of these. This was the first PWEI album I owned, but it was their third (I think) (WRONG). They really got into their stride and set the template for the next few, but hadn’t yet got too slick – a good few rough edges to keep it tricksy. Box Frenzy was good, but… Continue reading 25 Albums – Pop Will Eat Itself – This is the day – This is the hour – This is this!

Tequila Snaps
I uploaded a bunch of photos of our Tequila Tasting to my Flickr page. See them here. There’s some nice ones of friends, and of course a couple of Gordon, and a couple of others. When I was going through and deciding which to share, I had to decide how to share them, and there’s… Continue reading Tequila Snaps
Dark Forces Resurrected
Inspired by my memory of playing the Lucasarts FPS Dark Forces when I was at college while listening to Pulp’s His’n’Hers, I decided over the weekend to see if it was possible to play it on a Linux machine. A quick google showed that it was, and in fact one website provided all the information I… Continue reading Dark Forces Resurrected
Theatre Database Available Again
I’ve managed to get my little database of theatrical productions I’ve been involved with back up, after an extended period of not being able to remember my MySQL password (thanks, ICDSoft tech support!). It’s part of my ongoing relationship with theatre – the small-scale, amateur, just-for-fun kind. I now need to update a lot of… Continue reading Theatre Database Available Again
Bus Trip To Camden
Here’s a short video what I done when we were in London in February. Features: a little commentary very shaky camerawork a kaleidoscopically scratched bus window the song Grapefruit by Warm Digits, now available as a remix by a certain Justin Robertson – er, hello!
Symposium Poster Ideas
My paper was accepted for presentation at the INCOSE Symposium in Rome this summer – very exciting, although I’m going to have very little time for exploring. In fact, the paper was accepted for presentation as a poster, so I need to rearrange it and get it ready as a single sheet poster, which I… Continue reading Symposium Poster Ideas
Pulp at The Warfield, April 17 2012
This is the reason I finally managed to post this the other day. So Pulp have renuited for a tour, and were doing some shows at Coachella. Before that, they were doing a couple in San Francisco and thereabouts, which sold out in about 10 minutes. Cassie saw this, and posted on Facebook about wishing… Continue reading Pulp at The Warfield, April 17 2012
Tengo una resaca
Saturday was Cinco de Mayo, a popular day of celebration in states with a large Mexican population. It’s the celebration of winning a battle against the French in the 1800’s – I am rather ignorant of that area of history and geography. When Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were surrounded by the Bolivian army,… Continue reading Tengo una resaca
Wedding Music – First Dances
About time I finished posting these. These were the tunes we chose as our first dances – first with Cassie and I, and then with Cassie and her Daddy (she loves her Daddy). We’d used My Funny Valentine in another version as the processional, and the Stevie Wonder tune came out when Cassie was a… Continue reading Wedding Music – First Dances
Ceremony – The Speech We Didn’t Use
Continuing with this. Among all the wedding preparations, speeches and everything, we kept coming up with phrases that were funnily ambiguous. Here’s a few of them. Try inserting them in your own vows, and try and keep a straight face. “I will never forget what you did.” “I don’t think anything will let me forget… Continue reading Ceremony – The Speech We Didn’t Use
